i suspect this is just preventing brp-compress from running. -x ... will
likely fail b/c i don't think brp-compress will be in _prefix..., the location
into which the rpm is building.

i'm not 100% that line should be in there, at least i don't know off hand what
it does. it was probably in the examples i based our spec files off of so i
left it alone. what happens if you totally remove it?

the next two lines are building up the filelist on the fly using the find
command:

find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix} -type f -print | \
        sed "s ^$RPM_BUILD_ROOT@@g" > %{name}-%{version}-%{release}-filelist

that should have the correct extensions reguardless of what then ended up
being. (changed or not) it builds the list after brp-compress has been run.
i'm not sure how that could end up with invalid file names. i think something
bigger is going on here.
